energy

psi4.driver.energy(name, **kwargs)

Function to compute the single-point electronic energy.

Returns

float – Total electronic energy in Hartrees. SAPT & EFP return interaction energy.

Returns

(float, Wavefunction) – energy and wavefunction when return_wfn specified.

PSI variables

CURRENT ENERGY CURRENT REFERENCE ENERGY CURRENT CORRELATION ENERGY

Parameters

• name (str) –

  'scf' || 'mp2' || 'ci5' || etc.

  First argument, usually unlabeled. Indicates the computational method to be applied to the system.

• molecule (molecule) –

  h2o || etc.

  The target molecule, if not the last molecule defined.

• return_wfn (boolean) –

  'on' || \(\Rightarrow\) 'off' \(\Leftarrow\)

  Indicate to additionally return the Wavefunction calculation result as the second element (after float energy) of a tuple.

• write_orbitals (str, boolean) –

  filename || \(\Rightarrow\) 'on' \(\Leftarrow\) || 'off'

  (str) Save wfn containing current orbitals to the given file name after each SCF iteration and retain after PSI4 finishes.

  (boolean) Turns writing the orbitals after the converged SCF on/off. Orbital file will be deleted unless PSI4 is called with -m flag.

• restart_file (str) –

  ['file.1, file.32] || ./file || etc.

  Existing files to be renamed and copied for calculation restart, e.g. a serialized wfn or module-specific binary data.
